The XIII James Joyce Italian Foundation Conference in Rome

Andrew Biswell,
Metropolitan University of Manchester, President of the Anthony Burgess
International Foundation

Andrea Binelli,
University of Trento

Organisers: Franca Ruggieri,
Enrico Terrinoni and Serenella Zanotti

The James Joyce Italian Foundation invites proposals
for the Thirteenth Annual Conference in Rome. It will be hosted by the
Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the Università Roma
Tre, to celebrate Joyce’s 138th birthday.

Otherness is a major feature of Joyce’s writing, in
thematic, philosophical, aesthetic, political and linguistic terms. The
Conference will reflect also on how other writers coming from different
traditions appropriated or transfigured Joyce’s oeuvre, and how the Irish
artist’s works resonate in their own writings.

We invite scholars to send proposals for a 20-minute
contribution. The Conference will be the occasion to present unpublished papers
and works in progress on Joyce to an international audience.

Related topics include, but are not limited to:

– Joyce and European literature

– Joyce and World literature

– Joyce’s reception across space and time

– Joyce’s radical intertextuality

– Joyce and Otherness

– Postcolonial Joyce

– Identity, othering and self-othering in Joyce

– Joyce, language and alterity

Selected papers will be published. In sending
abstracts (500 words maximum in length), please attach also a short narrative bio-sketch
(300 words maximum in length) to joyceconference@gmail.com. BOTH DOCUMENTS HAVE TO BE SUPPLIED IN WORD FORMAT.
